I think the families of the boys she hit, at least the Majewskis, are also unconvinced that a thorough and unbiased investigation was carried out, Clad. The driver, Sharlene Simon, wasn't tested for alcohol or drugs and, of course, the fact that her husband was an LEO on the scene probably increases that suspicion.
Sadly, there's nothing that the families can do now about the lack of tox screening.
It is clear and documented that Simon was going over the speed limit on a precarious road when it was wet out, but then again, the boys did not adhere to all safety requirements either.
IDK. It seems that people can't accept that accidents happen anymore. Seems someone always needs to sue someone for something when tragedy strikes. If it was just a combination of darkness, wetness, and none of the parties being able to see each other under the circumstances, then you'd think Simon could just let it rest and live with her trauma or her guilt without adding more to what the families already have to handle -- I agree with you.
It was reported that Simon filed suit first and then the Majewskis filed a counter-suit. Now, I'm wondering if maybe one of the other boys' families filed suit against Simon first (they haven't spoken out) and Simon filed against all of them as a counter-measure. I'm gonna do a little more digging in the Canadian news to see if there are any official court docs or post-accident time line of events.
